Morning gang. A little late here I had to run to Walmart because Primo water decided to cancel our water delivery yesterday. Now I need to call them and let them have it. Since they have merged with Ready Refresh the service has been horrible.
The weather today is officially called swamp ass weather. It is so warm and muggy it is sickening. But today is my Friday woo hoo now I have to find a place for tomorrow for strawberry picking with my mom, daughter, and granddaughter. Crossing fingers that the NASCAR midget racing is still on for tonight for Irvin's grandkids.
QOTD: What's your favorite water sport? Irvin used to waterski when he was younger. For me I just like boating especially in sal****er and being able to fish is an added bonus.
B: coffee and 2 egg bites
L: salad with 1/2 cup egg salad
D: grilled chicken thighs and swiss chard
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi! Late check in that I'm sure will miss everyone. It was busy all day and especially because I take lunches on Wednesday for a telehealth appt. I'm holding out hope that we will be able to process some of our payroll early instead of having that team wait until Monday. Fingers crossed.
QOTD: I used to enjoy running outside but since my injury/surgery I haven't started back up.
Dinner was chicken sausage and mashed cauliflower. Water/exercise/vitamins, all on track.
I'll do my best to check in tomorrow before my day gets crazy, but I don't know what time it will start to get crazy!

Humpty Hump!
It feels a bit like Friday because I am heading to Florida tonight. I will go straight from work to the airport and land at about 10:45. Marilyn is picking me up at the airport.
We have tomorrow off, but if our clients are working, they will expect attention.
I had been on a streak of being early to work, but I didn't sleep well last night, so the streak is over.
QOTD: Fishing, hiking, swimming and biking.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: steak
Dinner: airport food
Have a great day, all!

I like walking in the woods and finding wild flowers but the swimming pool is my favorite outside activity. My brother who is 73 and his son are hiking to the bottom of the grand canyon this week. Last time they did it on mules. My nephew is hiking at various locations in Utah and Colorado and the grand canyon is on their schedule. The pictures they are Facebook are amazing. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
I took Monday off and was playing catch up yesterday. I did get my top 2 floors of window and door washing done. It was an incredibly rainy cool weekend, and I have been in the pool exactly 1 hour since I opened it on May 17. I hear that is all supposed to change, I am hoping for a wonderful hot weekend and planning a pool party. Work has been steady as she goes. No meeting with boss yet. I am just laying low and hiding till I get notice we will meet. Hopefully I am still at the bottom of the list.
QOTD: Walking on the beach. Collecting seashells and swimming in the ocean. I also like to Scuba and fishing.
Accountability: I have been very conscience of what I eat.
TSS: 7 years 6-months 7-days 167.4 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein salted caramel truffle
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Sauerbraten made with round steak
D: grilled meatloaf
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest Blessings

Good mornin y'all.
Two appointments today, thankfully they are close to each other. Pain clinic and my case manager. I need to talk to the later about the peer support person ghosting me. Not looking forward to that. The pain clinic is always the same ol same ol thing. We also will be going to Walmart for a few things for tomorrow. So pretty long day
i'm feeling pretty rough after yesterdays PT. The physical therapist sent me home with a TENS unit. He's really great.
QOTD. Sky watching. Storms, clouds, sun sets/rises. Stars. You name it I enjoy just taking it in.
B: jimmy dean delights cauliflower sandwich and coffee
L: prob a chicken crap from BK
D: I have no idea at this point. Maybe a fish fillet or something along those lines.
Happy Hump Day Gang. It was a rainy muggy day yesterday, but it went well. Today started off the same way hopefully after a quick storm the sun comes out. Tomorrow night is the grandkids first trial race of the NASCAR midget cars in Thompson and Irvin is so excited. This is another short week for me as I took Friday off.
QOTD: What outdoor activity do you enjoy most? I actually like hiking not that I do it often, but I enjoy going through the woods and finding unusual landmark or structures.
B: coffee and 2 egg bits
L: salad with 1/2 cup cottage cheese
D: pork chop and kale with red onion and blue cheese
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi, nice to see you all again. Father's day was nice and quiet. Hubs was out helping a friend so I did as much in the garden as I could. Monday he and our son went out for guy stuff and it was another nice quiet day. Worked hard in the garden, overdid it a bit. Had to head to Costco today for protein powder, it was great going so early with little crowds and for the first hour I wasn't even limping. That is amazing progress from the PT and weight loss. Finished the month with 17# loss. Today is the telephone appt. with my dr and hope it goes well.
QOTD: I help Hubby whenever he'll allow or requests it but it is usually a very stressful situation. Daughter is a fire wife so she frequently needs help with babysitting, that's a win/win for both of us. Grandbaby time does me so much good. Chatting with Son last evening he let slip he isn't cooking much because bills are pretty high so I dragged him to MollyMart (aka my canning room) and made him take some jars of meats and veggies. He hates to ask for help.
I've hit the interesting point with these meds where I'm actually tired of having to eat. If it wouldn't mess up my 'regularity' I'd be perfectly happy with a couple of protein shakes a day but that isn't healthy long-term.
B: canned shake 'Nurri' brand in chocolate. Same stats as Fairlife but tastes like you are dieting. Costco didn't have any Fairlife this time, bummer.
L: nothing
D: mixed spring greens, 8 cherry tomatoes, 3 oz rotisserie chicken, 2 T lite Ranch dressing, 3 slices of a small avocado
LS: 2 T chia seeds in water
Enjoy the rest of your day! After talking to the dr. I'm heading back to the garden.
Good Afternoon! The week is moving right along and pretty quickly. I have some year-end (yes for 2024) that I am working with the CPA on and normal payroll activites. Just trucking right along.
QOTD: I have a small family and yes we try and do whatever we can.
Standard menu for the day and dinner I think I will finish the soy chorizo. Water/Vits and exercise-check-check and check
Have a great day!

QOTD- I wish my roommate would help more. He says he will do something and never gets around to it.
I'm trying to do my PT for my wrist but I gotta say it hurts and sometimes I just don't want to do it. But I also don't want to lose functionality in my hand and wrist.
I started back to work yesterday and of course they have no work. I finally got some money from Paid Leave Oregon. I don't have an accounting of it but I believe that they paid me for six weeks, so I'm no longer broke. That is good, but if I don't have any work I don't have anything to charge my time to, so I don't get paid. I just asked my boss for work, so maybe I'll get some. It seems to be feast or famine. I hate being overwhelmed but I also hate not having any work. I will survive.
My roommate is unemployed so no help, and he still hasn't done the drip mist system. He did buy the tomato cages but I will need his help to put them on the plants.
Another beautiful day, high of 78 and clear and sunny. But there is supposed to be rain tomorrow. I hope it happens so I won't have to water the plants.
Have a great day everyone!
